Husqvarna, good shot on generalizations …I didn’t mean all Europeans but was referring to European documents …mostly I’ve been speaking in relation to the English unwritten(<snicker>) constitution, numerous French documents (in effect, sorta in effect, and "not really but we pretend they are beecauzze we are Fraannch"), and Weimar Constitution (scared to say much here 'cause I don’t wanna stir ‘em up) … JUST KIDDING ! … but the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union also mixes collective rights with those of the individual. Collective rights gradually win out over individual ones, as conflicts between them arise. It also resorts to arbitrary definition of rights. The right to life in particular is defined as an absolute.
Except by arbitrary definition, how would you resolve the conflict between the EU "right to life" and the use of deadly force in self defense? ... or will you take the easy way out?
